Plan is to do some touch ups on the Orange re-route from Nov and hopefully get to a small reroute on Yellow. We will once again have some help via High Tech Landscapes. Please come out and lend a hand.

- NEW MEETING SPOT THIS TIME- GILBRIDE ROAD. Meeting @ the small lot next to the bridge on Gilbride Road at 9:00am
- It's a short walk to both work sites
- Tools will be supplied
- Bring work gloves & something to drink

Hope you can make it.

Another month, another trail maintenance. Big plans for this one. High Tech Landscapes has again offered to donate some manpower, so we plan to take full advantage. 2 projects on the table, 1 on Orange & 1 on Yellow. Still need some volunteers to join to make sure we can get them both done.

As off road cyclists, we benefit directly from the efforts of land preservation agencies and groups who work tirelessly to identify and negotiate the purchase of land to remain for future generations to enjoy. To this point, funding has been contingent on continual renewal of Bonds that are uncertain. This uncertainty, slows progress in many ways. The work is not done, there is still much land in private holdings that we appreciate but could actually fall to developed in the future.
